the
family
together
Dr.

Onjewu,
this
one
is
for
you!
August
twelfth,
the
sun
is
shining
bright
A
special
day,
you
are
our
guiding
light
First
of
the
clan,
you
took
the
heavy
load
When
parents
left,
you
walked
the
narrow
road
Doctor
Martha,
you
never
once
complained
Through
the
storm
and
sun,
your
love
remained
My
mentor,
my
rock,
my
very
best
friend
On
your
wisdom,
I
know
I
can
depend
Onyete!
Our
pride
and
our
mother
There
is
truly
none
like
you,
no
other
Granny,
you
lead
with
a
heart
so
gold
Strongest
woman,
brave
and
so
bold
Focused
and
caring,
you
show
us
the
way
We
celebrate
you
on
this
birthday
Onyete!
Our
mother,
our
crown
You
lift
us
up
whenever
we
are
down
Look
at
the
lives
you
touched,
the
seeds
you
sown
A
role
model
to
all
that
you
have
known
From
the
city
streets
to
the
family
home
With
you
beside
us,
we
never
feel
alone
You
gave
us
hope
when
the
road
was
dry
Like
an
eagle,
you
taught
us
how
to
fly
Dr.
Martha,
your
grace
is
a
testimony
In
this
life,
you
are
my
one
and
only
Onyete!

pride
and

is
truly
none
like
you,

a
heart
so

woman,
brave
and
so
bold
Focused
and
caring,

us
the
way
We
celebrate
you

this
birthday
Onyete!
Our
mother,
our
crown

lift
us
up
whenever
we
are
down
Chukwu
bless
you
for
all
that
you
do
Everything
we
are,
we
owe
it
all
to
you
You
held
the
mantle
when

burden
was
high
You

for
the
sky
